E 1107 / MA-Sahel Oulad H'Riz

The approaching cloud front over Stettat forced us to make a major change of location. As the coastal region on the North Atlantic appeared to be cloud-free, we drove to the railway line leading to El Jadida. In addition to passenger services, which run hourly between the coast and Casa Voyageurs, there is also freight traffic to the port facilities at Douar El Karia. We set up near Alasellat station and were caught by surprise by a freight train approaching from behind. As soon as the locomotive had parked the carriages at the station, it was coupled to an empty train. A few minutes after a passenger train had passed through, E 1107 set off with the ONCF Fret carriages. Having already managed to take a (reasonably good) photo as the train left the station, it came to a halt on the open track. This allowed us to take another photo, despite the poor road conditions.
